Open letter @staff

Ahoi 🏴‍☠️

Since about 9/2022 I am no longer featured by tumblr, only sporadically supported with foreign entries

I produce a lot of art and wisdoom artistically presented

In addition, since 2011 I have created a lot of contemporary & newcontemporary art contributions that have also not been funded by you since 9/2022!

Why?

After all, your platform lives from blogs like mine, and after your ethnic cleansing, thousands of art blogs disappeared 👻

If I reblog something of mine, this post stays on top of my dashboard for 10-20 minutes even after opening the Tumblr app again

That wasn't the case before September 2022...

And I see that other users don't have These Problems

This makes me feel very disadvantaged by you, even discriminated against

I've been a loyal user since 2011, I've invested a lot of love and time in my baby (blog).

Since I know that tumblr no longer only operates nsfw and sfw categories, I strongly request that my condition be changed to the categorie before 9/2022 because now it is unbearable...

Algorithms are everything...

Thanks for the quick correction ✅

Best regards

Alex

As a dumb kid who has always been on the average everything side and didn’t really know any plus size people, when the only time I had encountered them was in cartoons/books where they were portrayed as “food obsessed” or “gross” shapes some kind of negative opinion in my mind even without me consciously thinking about it

I remember when I first started drawing fowler I had a really hard time getting out of my comfort zone to draw a person that’s not super muscular or slim, so sometimes I would just be like “yeah he’s younger in this drawing” to avoid drawing a plus size man

I’m very glad I’ve changed in the past few years and that now I can enjoy a character the way they really are and also grow as an artist

Also, I really dislike this “trend”(?) thing some fandom people do to characters that are non conventionally attractive where they do the “what if this person had a glow up (aka just got abs)” or “what if this person is secretly athletic”
